ROUND ROCK, Texas — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 28, 2015 —
Dell today announced an expansion of its
13th
generation PowerEdge servers including the
PowerEdge
R930, Dell’s most powerful server specifically designed for the most
demanding enterprise applications such as in-memory databases, customer
relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP).
Once the domain of UNIX systems, these enterprise applications are
increasingly
shifting to x86 platforms for increased innovation, additional
capabilities and lower total cost of ownership.

The global x86 server market has grown more than 600 percent since Dell
first introduced the PowerEdge portfolio roughly 20 years ago, while the
non-x86 market has been on a constant decline – shrinking 70 percent
between 2000 and 2013. Even with the declines, the non-x86 market
presents a $9.1 billion (USD) addressable market in 2015(1).
With the PowerEdge R930, along with Dell software and services, many of
these non-x86 customers can migrate from UNIX to Linux with ease and
move to a more innovative, future-ready data center.

“As our business continued to grow, our previous system was getting
slow, hard to manage and unreliable,” said Gan Desheng, manager
sub-division, Information Management, Ameco Beijing. “We were looking
for a new system to keep up with our business needs and decided to
migrate from RISC to x86 servers. By moving from IBM’s P-series UNIX
systems to Dell’s PowerEdge R9-series servers we were able to reduce our
total cost of ownership by nearly 50 percent, achieve 99.99 percent
system availability and improve our performance of systems running the
SAP® ERP application by 3.5 times.”

PowerEdge R930 built for performance, scalability, reliability and
manageability

The PowerEdge R930 rack server can flexibly scale to optimize
transactions and operations while reducing latency. It enables customers
to:

Dell was the first to ship NVMe PCIe SSDsand it’s now
offering industry leading capacity with the new 3.2TB PCIe SSD.
Dell PowerEdge Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSDs deliver ultra-high
performance, front loading, hot pluggable 2.5-inch devices,
providing up to 10 times more input /output operations per second
(IOPS) over traditional SSDs(3).

Customers can also leverage a mix of HDDs and SAS SSDs with
SanDisk DAS Cache to reduce the price by 23 percent compared to an
all SSD configuration while improving performance by 9 times of an
all HDD configuration(4).

Reduce configuration time by up to 99 percentand
reduce time on manual inventory by up to 91 percent(5).IT
administrators can also receive higher levels of automation and monitor
and remediate data center situations from a hand-held device anywhere in
the world with Dell’s recently updated
OpenManage
systems management portfolio.
